your time is concluded, sir. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon fellow american citizens. my name is kathleen wells, i am an entrepreneur and i am the american government. i exercise my united states constitution rights, and all other rights. i have a copy of the united states constitution with bill of rights in my possession right now. i exercise my right to collect my funds, and i demand my funds from a united states constitutional demand. in the amount of $8,250,000,

$5 billion on the 110 trillion purchasing power scientifically. an executive branches of our government, during years tran11-2016 and with this government body on july 16, 2019. i demand that the city of san francisco provide a recent auditing report, accompanied with bank statements on account numbers being used by the city. the last time i gave a public comment, i was talking about what has happened with the federal reserve, and its dictatorial practices and how it has caused the current homelessness problem, which i see. you know, i have lived here from 1985-1996. i moved to new york city, that i move back recently in in january of 2019, i am completely shocked at how many homeless american citizens there are in your streets. it is unacceptable.

expert authority, thomas jefferson wrote to albert gallatin, "if the american people ever allow central banks to control, then the inflation and deflation and manipulations will deprive the people of their property, until their children wake-up homeless, on the continent their fathers conquered". my background is american monetary history, and policy, and the constitution of light. i will be happy to help thank you very much for your attention. >> next speaker, please. [singing] single ♪ ♪ america, america, i want my money back. [laughter] people are telling their genealogy today. i say yeah,, warehouse local six. i was in that union for a couple

of years. >> next speaker, please. step up, please. >> good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. i am from the medallion holders, not the union, but one of the medallion holders. we do support chinatown, and like the u.s. speaker said, there is a lot of homelessness and by san francisco city, not helping the taxi drivers they are basically trying to create more homeless people. please be kind to all of the taxi medallion buyers, and please buy those medallions back

and give the money back to those medallion buyers so they can rebuild their lives. also, all of the time and money they have lost, san francisco said he basically owes them for their loss of income. i would suggest to please by all of the medallions back, and also refund the loss of income that they have incurred on them, because san francisco is supporting uber and lyft. they are driving and making money on the city of san francisco streets. please help the medallion buyers. thank you. >> i have not seen a homeless person today, for the first time in memory. regarding the need waste

program. good money is chasing bad litter in the win. i'm facilitating a dirty habit. you do not hand out cigarettes, you should not have a purely toxic program. given the recent spate of public fumes that have ended in tragic fatalities, i am imagining you are, as i am, against senseless acts of violence. i believe it is worth supporting the roll of media in general which far too often repeat grotesque mischaracterization, outright melissa lies and inflammatory rhetoric. immigrant families are being kidnapped, separated and taken to concentration camps, where women are told to drink water from toilets, children are locked in cages, left to sleep on cold hard concrete and said to be dying in the immigration authorities custody with u.s. border agents being vilified as

fascist and nazis. unfortunately, such slander has vulgar attempts to my emotional manipulation or the commonplace tactics of character disordered individuals and borderline personalities. it comes as no surprise, given the reckless insight to violence , with the wolf tickets sold, dog whistles blown respectively. eventually a misguided lone wolf does show up and allegedly armed in front of an emigration facility, rifle in hand, attempting to detonate a propane tank, having set nearby cars and buildings of flame. is it any wonder, when uniform mexican soldiers enter the u.s. illegally, and disarm a national guardsmen, at gunpoint, as a very likely, wrongly imagined they are avenging -- >> thank you.

next speaker, please. >> mr. president i will add, before the next speaker. any other members of the public that would like to address the board during general public comment, step up to your right hand side. otherwise this will be the last speaker. >> business in chinatown for 50 years, after hearing naming the station either chinatown or rose pak, my opinion, since i've been here for 50 years, do not name it after anyone. leave the station as chinatown. like i said, rose is a great person and the present, but in the past she has a dark side. i am here 50 years, and we don't choose. thank you. >> thank you. that will conclude our public comments for today. madame clerk, please call for adoption of our committee agenda

weekend. we will have officers highly visible. also working with other city departments including the fire department and others on public safety and it will be a team effort with other city departments. we are pleased with the way that is going. we want everybody to come out have a good time, enjoy themselves and we will take care of the security and facilitating traffic in and out. again that will be starting friday morning, ending sunday night. >> let me add with outside land we are asking the public if you are attending, please go on the website and take a look at the bag policy. certain bags will not be allowed in the venue, we don't want anybody showing up, particularly those that are taking rideshare, public transportation i cannot get them because their bags do not fit the criteria. it's online, make sure you take a look at it if you're planning on attending. so you don't get turned around at the gate, because your bag is against the entry rules.

community engagement highlights. just a brief overview. our annual citywide community policing advisory board symposium was held on july 13. it was a great turnout with members from all over the city. helping to coordinate this, it was a really good event. a lot of good dialogue and facilities -- facilitated on community policing partnerships with our advisory board and other members of the community. really good turnout. we are really pleased with that. our summer intern program, with the mayor's opportunities for all will conclude in the next couple of weeks. we had quite a few young people employed and interning at the seven cisco police department. that included our program where we placed 50 youths on an internship, we had 30 youth that are interested in law enforcement, working with our

youth community and in our eight week course we had 40 youths go through that course. our csi community safety initiative program, we had 75 youth go through that they share which we are really happy with. our youth career academy has hosted about 50 youths. it was really good engagement. i attended a graduation for future grad this week. parents came out, really good event. kids were really bright and had great presentations including some of their recommendations after doing a lot of research on our homeless issue in the city about what they think we could do to improve that situation. really good presentations there. lastly, national night out was last night. all ten of our district stations held close to the national night out event in partnership with their community volunteers, assistant chief mosher and i attended for them. starting in tara vale, richmond,

park, and we ended in the northern. really great turnout. the fire chief was also at several of the events. we just want to thank the members of our community, that partnered with us for a great national night out. it was very energizing to be among the community, and the fellowship working together as a team. that concludes my report for the week. is there any questions? >> high have a question for you. last time i talk to you, at our last meeting, we talked about the founder had not been an officer involved shooting in san francisco. i'm just wondering is that statistic still moving. >> s, sir, it is. we are really happy that our last officer involved shooting was june 9 of 2018. it's been almost 14 months now.

>> it a stunning statistic really. i've asked the staff and i'm going to ask again. i'm curious to know if there were any other major cities in the united states to have statistics that are anything like that. crime is down in the city right now, and we are doing it with less lethal force. i think that is a great sign, for the department. >> let me ask one brief question today that was news broke that the feds, the dea was working together with i understand i.c.e. to conduct, or made some arrests, is the department anyway coordinated with the feds on this one? >> my understanding, from talking to the special agent in charge of the dea, number one the department does collaborate with federal entities on drug

enforcement, and operations, or investigations that meet federal criteria. my understanding from my discussions with the people in charge, the dea, and the san francisco u.s. attorney, is that homeland security investigations which only handles criminal investigations is the entity that is involved in that, not the immigration enforcement, which is the enforcement arm of immigration violations. h.s.i. is a part of this. we work with h.s.i. before on homicide investigations that i talked about in front of this fleet division. the only do criminal investigations. we have collaborated with them on the drug dealing, in the city. to my understanding there is no enforcement in terms of immigration that we are involved

in any way. >> i guess, that is some of the reporting saying that i.c.e. was part of the collaborative team there. i think people were concerned about it and it just came out this afternoon, or i heard about it this afternoon. was the department involved in these investigations? >> the department has been involved in the investigation. we were involved in a press conference. it went beyond the investigation, as they announced efforts with additional prosecutors that will be adopting federal cases. if they meet federal criteria. we have been involved in have collaborated with the dea on narcotics investigation. criminal activity. >> were any of those turned over to i.c.e.? >> no.

>> next item please. >> item 3b, epa director's report. report on recent epa activities and announcements. the report will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. >> good evening, director. >> good evening, thank you. i have our second quarter document protocol on the consent calendar. i still have some of the same as similar stats i normally give at our meetings. and so at this.we are at 449 cases that have been open this year. this is up almost 50 more cases than we were at this.last year. in terms of cases closed we are out there in 49's cases we have -- -- 349 cases we have

closed this year versus 320 this time last year. in terms of open cases and cases pending we are at 407 versus 281 at this time last year. hours' disdain cases are 39 versus 29 at this time last year. our cases that have gone beyond nine months, are 34. we were at 35 this time last year. our cases that have been mediated are also increasing. we are at 24 so far this year. which we were out 14 this year, and just for the record, that number is reflective of more than what we did for the entire amount of last year. a lot of the mediations are up in the department. in terms of the technology we are still adjusting with our new case management system. for the past few weeks we have exhaustively been transferring our old existing case data for a new system and learning how to use it with the staff.

again, a lot of what we are doing is using our new system to its fullest capacity which will automate and make broader transparencies to connect and compare our data with the san francisco police department's data. my staff met with last week, the department -- the police department internal affairs staff to discuss setting up information transfer for the early intervention system. we have some of the data before, but now we have an opportunity to make the informational flow reciprocal and not just back-and-forth based on requests made we are in the early stages of it, because once we are able to connect and share the information back, we can also elevate that information and participate with data. that part of our project with our informational system starts next week.

the entire city uses of the public can access information as well. we have a case on a closed session today, hawkins will be the attorney there. the audience today have my chief of staff at hawkins, active senior investigator and obviously all of the interns that have been with us for all of the summer that are prepared to make their presentation. i'm really excited about the stuff they have to say. we really put a lot of work into the internship program this year. we want to maintain it throughout the year, next year as well. thank you guys ahead of time for your attention and allowing us to make the presentation. >> i have a question for you. there was a question that was posed to me by a member of the public. the person asked whether the dpa does follow-up with vivid -- individuals on officers that go through mediation, to debrief and get their feedback as to the value of that process and am

just wondering if you do that? >> not only do we test at a rate the individual expenses both from the officer side and from the complainant site, but we follow-up separately to find out if we can get feedback so we are constantly improving it and by improving it, i mean, making notification and tweaks on how to best prepare force of his -- specific types of complaints. and how to assign specific mediators. right now, for example, one of the things that is on the table right now is for us to talk about some group or type mediations for people that have general complaints that are not specific to an individual officer but speak to individual policies, i'm not just the police department, but specific areas. if there are problems associated with a specific part, and specific locations that are constantly happening. how do we raise that discussion

with dpa acting as a media airy to allow those conversations to take place and have the department respond without having to be a complaint, or having it evolve out of a complaint beyond a sustained, or not a sustained case. does that make sense? >> it might be helpful for the commission, if once a year you could give us a summary of what your office has determined the value of the mediation. >> they would love that. my mediation team i have doubled it from this last year. i wanted these numbers to go up, i wanted to have broader mediation. specifically to engage and address folks that are making complaints. they will not be resolved by a sustained case or could it be resolved with a sustained case. they just want a broader audience to voice their concerns about something that they participated in, observed, or know about so yes, i welcome that opportunity and we can sit down and schedule something. >> okay.

next item, please. >> the presentation regarding dpa's internship program. >> hi there. good evening to you all. >> good evening president hirsch, my name is ms. thompson, i'm an attorney with the department or police accountability and a supervisor of our fellowship intern program. our structured intern program has been full of showing the intersections of government, community and the private sector. we have a legal aspect of focus,

and our interns engage in a variety of interviews that lend to the workings of dpa. our summer dpa intern program 2019 consists of -- [reading notes] we were honored and privileged to be given the opportunity to be a part of opportunities for all. it is initiative started by mayor london breed to address economic inequality by assuring

all young people can be be a part of san francisco's thriving economy. led by executive director, cheryl davis of the human rights commission. it allowed the majority of our interns to have a paid internship. this is a tremendous opportunity and a blessing for the students. as we all know, internships are unpaid. this allowed to alleviate that burden of going this summer and allowing to pursue your dreams of actually being in the workforce one day. we are extremely grateful for the opportunity to have worked with osa, hrc and partnering agencies who really played a critical role in the success of our program. we are extremely grateful for the leadership trainings, the trainings for our employees for the summer, as they got to learn about our accountability when it comes to getting paid. an overview of our summer program. paul henderson explained it the

dpa's internship provides a unique opportunity to learn about how local government enforces laws and effects policies. teaching professional skills that apply well in this context as well as many others. you may choose to develop any skills that interest you. such as interviewing, community outreach, legal writing and research, cultural competency. document production and public speaking. in addition we wanted to instill professional development. such as resume building. basic lyrical skills. working with another, being held accountable for your time in the office and for those you work with on four. it started with the basics. learning how to dress for success. being professional. being on time. we want to instill these skills in them before they had their own trial by fire when their jobs on the line one day. we wanted this internship program to be where they got to learn the basics, correct them

now with me, as opposed is getting out into the workforce on the job being held on the line because you didn't call your supervisor and tell them you were going to be 20 minutes late. are you didn't let one of your supervisors know that you could not finish a project it was all about accountability. our main goal was to have them give 110%. we know 85% is a great grade. 95% you are winning in the great aspect. when it comes to your job and your career you want to go above and beyond. i am proud to say each of these interns standing up here, all eight of them have given that 110%. we have the honor and privilege of also having a weekly speaker series with our agency. whether these honorable speakers came to the dpa office or we went field trips to visit them,

it was truly an honor to see where their path led to the positions that they are in today. it allows our interns to explore the different avenues of public and private sector. government and corporate. we had the honor of having our own commissioner brookter speak as one of our very first speakers. the honorable jenkins. melia cohen, monica wiley, family law, san francisco superior court. [reading notes] jermaine jones of orrick. the honorable bruce chan of the young adult court. [reading notes] what all of these speakers had in common was that they all started or played some role in government and got the job, or got the position where they are today. we wanted to show them that you

can start in government, it's a great foundation for you to expand and use that in your career path. where we have been. we have been at the police commission. this is our second time as a group. we went to young adult court. we went to superior court, orrick law firm, lyft, hall of justice, google, we even, and this is one of our very first field trips, we attended the san francisco police department crisis intervention team award ceremony in june. where they honor those officers that ensure public safety and went above and beyond to keep our streets safe. these are just some of our program highlights. we did a tour of city hall area that was us at the ci q awards. we got to go on the mayor's balcony. we got to sit in judge chance

bench. we went to the state building, those were just some of the highlights. in addition, we try to instill, that is the main component of the department of police accountability, community outreach. participated in juneteenth, pride, community meetings. with the help of the human rights commission, and opportunities for all. we wanted to provide another aspect of the summer program. taking the book bias and applying it in their work at dpa, intersecting it with their own lives which are each unique in their experience in the perspective that they bring to our communities. the community, and the police. these interns met during weekly round tables complete with a syllabus for the summer to right now. >> good evening.

over the course of our internship we read bias by doctor jennifer eberhardt, a stanford university professor. scientific, investigative and social experiments to prove the presence of unconscious bias within the criminal justice system. she was the first social science researcher who applied research of inclusive bias to law enforcement. her book, research heavily relates to 96a, which katie will discuss in the next slide. as part of the ongoing conversation on police reform, including accountability and transparency, accurate data collection and reporting from police stops. by identifying characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, and age that play a role in the outcomes and interactions between law enforcement officers and members of the public. it is significant because it reveals specific bias heavily

influences officers when making stops. this information is invaluable, because it allows for improvement in policy that helps mediate the influence of bias. now we are going to have marcus talk about better practices. >> throughout our internship we engaged in weekly discussions of the afro mentioned. i've come up with four techniques that we have deemed to be best practices. we would like to preface this by saying we recognize that implicit bias is not a simple issue to fix we do not believe that these best practices will solve the issue but rather could decrease its effects. to begin, we would like to adjust our awareness. spreading information on implicit bias by law enforcement , we believe this information will help officers become more aware of the decisions on black and brown communities. second we would like to suggest transparency through the utilization of 96a. it showcases pattes
